Turn A 5 Liter Plastic Pet Bottle Into A Biltong Dryer

A plastic pet bottle biltong dryer has got to be the easiest kind of biltong dryer that anyone can make at home. You need a large plastic pet bottle to be able to dry a decent sized single piece of beef steak, though.

So, knowing that it is a good idea to recycle. Why knot challenge yourself to recycle your 5 liter plastic pet bottles by turning at least one of them into a Biltong Dryer. They are the perfect size for drying a single piece of beef thus turning that single piece of beef into a delicious strip of mouth watering biltong. I can guarantee you that your biltong will be a hit with all that come into contact with it, too.

Pet Bottle Biltong Dryer Parts

Her is a list of all of the parts you will need to go right ahead and make your plastic pet bottle biltong dryer.

1. A large plastic pet bottle. The squarish water bottles that have a lid with a diameter of about 10 centimeters (4 inches) are the best kind of bottle for your biltong dryer.

2. A small laptop computer fan. As you may already know, many laptops come pre-fitted with a small fan that is designed to circulate air in and around the laptops parts to keep them cool. These fans are compact, they are relatively cheap and they are perfect for circulating the air within your biltong dryer. Biltong is air dried beef, whereas beef jerky is smoke dried (smoked) beef.

3. A 12 volt power supply to run the computer fan. You can buy cheap (around 20 dollars) 12 volt power supply units from amazon.

This one in the picture below doesn’t even need a fan.
